WRoNGHEADED film is a direct response to the on-going call for the repeal of the 8th amendment in the Irish Constitution – an amendment that introduced a constitutional ban on abortion in 1983. Intense physicality in confined spaces and abstract poetic narratives portray a deep sense of desperation, struggle, loss and unrest. WRoNGHEADED was commissioned by and made in collaboration with Liz Roche Company.

Fierce physicality and restless poetry intertwine in a film that highlights the current debate in Irish Society around choices available to women regarding their bodies.
